• Shape the product roadmap by translating customer needs into scalable platform improvements.
• Build internal tooling and shared capabilities to accelerate delivery across diverse use cases.
• Collaborate across engineering, product, and customer teams to streamline execution and reduce friction.
• Ensure fast, high-quality delivery of features, experiments, and customer launches.
• Provide strategic clarity to your team and attract, hire, and retain world class engineering talent.

Ideally, You Have:

• 3-5+ years of engineering management experience, ideally in high growth tech environments with direct customer engagement.
• A strong engineering background and a track record of leading technical teams to deliver impactful products.
• Hands on experience building or deploying AI powered systems, with an understanding of how model behavior shapes user experience.
• A deep interest in Generative AI and a belief in its potential to transform enterprise workflows.
• Proven ability to make fast, sound decisions in high pressure or ambiguous situations.
• The leadership presence to earn trust and respect from engineers, peers, and senior stakeholders.
• Strategic thinking with a clear ability to turn business goals into actionable engineering plans.
• Operational rigor in planning, prioritizing, and delivering complex software systems at scale.
